Aunt Ruth was very special to me because she lived with us, went to high school, and took care of me while Mother worked when I was tiny. We'll miss her, but I fully expect to see her soon. As I said to my mother when she was about to move upstairs, "It's all right for you to go see Jesus, and we'll be along in a little bit." I pray God's special comfort for Uncle E.C., and all the rest of the family. P.S., I had to select a state, and Mexico was not on the list.

Uncle EC, Lydia, and Skip ~~
You are all in my thoughts and my heart at this time. Always I remember Aunt Ruth's warm and generous hospitality when we all got together at her house at Christmas. She always made us feel so very welcome when we visited. I can see Aunt Ruth's beautiful smile, which Lydia has as well!
I always enjoyed seeing you all.
Love to You from Beth

Nana was a woman to be reckoned with. She was a woman of intense faith in the Lord, and I know she is with him now. So many people have been blessed to be touched by this remakable woman. I know I have been blessed to have her as my Nana for the past 27 years. I love her so much, and she will be greatly missed by many people. Especially by her loving husband of 68 years, E.C. We will miss you Nana. I Love You Very Much!
Your Grandaughter,

Please know that your family is close in my heart as you go through the next few days. Your mother was a pillar of strength and such a joy to serve while at Piedmont Dialysis. If was a privilege working with the various members of the family as arrangements for placement were arranged for your mother. I will always remember your mother's sense of self-determination and resiliency.

We were so sorry about Aunt Ruth's passing. She has had a rough time these last few months and years. I am so glad that we were able to visit with her the last time I was in NC. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
